Inspiration for the spiders in this art box come from the wonderful Louise Bourgeois. Click here to find out more.
Taking inspiration for the art projects in this art box, we take a look at Odilon Redon’s smiling spiders, at Yayoi Kusama’s dotty pumpkins and at Louise Bourgeois’s woven spiders’ webs. Mexicans have a similar festival at about the same time each year which they call the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos). The Mexican artist Frida Kahlo particularly liked this celebration, and we also look at her work to inspire us for all things scary skulls!
